148 First Glimpse of the World of Immortal Cultivation (3)
“But I must remind you, Master, that the world of immortal cultivation is much more dangerous than this world. You must be careful,” Zhao Hong said slowly.
“What’s so dangerous about it? I’ve encountered many dangers here as well!” Jiang Ming seemed to be very excited. “Since there’s a way to attain immortality, I must go there.”
His hands trembled as he flipped through the book in his hands. After a moment, he looked at Zhao Hong suspiciously. “However, your immortal cultivation technique says that there are several realms. Therefore, why does this book only have the cultivation method for the third level of the Qi Refinement Realm?”
“M-Master, I want a first-class technique.” Zhao Hong’s face turned red.
Jiang Ming’s face turned serious. In fact, he could hardly hold back his laughter.
“There must be a reason why this fellow doesn’t want to return to the world of immortal cultivation,” Jiang Ming thought.
He stared at Zhao Hong and said in a deep voice, “If I were to give you a first-class martial arts technique, even if you were to give me the complete immortal cultivation technique, it wouldn’t be enough, right? There’s no spiritual energy here, so I can’t cultivate.”
“I’ll give three spirit stones to you, Master!” Zhao Hong seemed to have gone all out. “I don’t plan to return to the world of immortal cultivation anyway. I’ll give you all these things. Three spirit stones can buy many things in the world of immortal cultivation.”
“Do you have anything else?” Jiang Ming frowned and seemed to be indecisive.
“No, I can’t afford a storage ring, and I could not bring too many things with me. It’s a pity that I lost my flying dagger when I was running for my life. Otherwise, I could have given you that too.”
Zhao Hong shook his head in regret.
Jiang Ming coughed lightly.
“Then let’s do this.” Jiang Ming sighed. “I’ve seen that you have had a good character all these years. You’re much stronger than Wang Ji. I can teach you a first-class martial arts technique.”
“Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!” Zhao Hong was overjoyed when he heard that. He bowed and thanked him.
“Also, tell me what the world of immortal cultivation is like. If I go, I can’t be in the dark,” Jiang Ming said.
The thin book had long been placed on the side of the table. The first page had the words “Five Elemental Arts” written on it.
Jiang Ming wanted to roll his eyes. It seemed he was right. The Five Elemental Arts was indeed just a basic technique.
His true purpose was finally revealed.
The reason why he was painstakingly looking for immortal cultivators was naturally not for any cultivation techniques, but to obtain the latest information about the world of immortal cultivation.
He did not want to be robbed by someone when he first crossed this world.
Zhao Hong scratched his head in embarrassment and said, “The world of immortal cultivation is vast, and no one knows how big it is. Compared to it, this world is like a drop of water in a vast ocean. The area I know is only ten thousand miles in radius. I don’t know how far it is beyond that.”
“Then tell me about this area.” Jiang Ming laughed.
Zhao Hong nodded and said slowly, “Outside the Red Pine Snowfield is a vast land called the Northern Territory. Almost no one knows how big it is. It’s said that ordinary immortal cultivators will never be able to cross it within their lifetime. The place I live in is called the Feather Kingdom. It rules over a vast territory, but rumors say that compared to the Northern Territory, it’s just a drop in the ocean! In the Feather Kingdom, there are many cultivation sects both big and small. However. I am only a cultivator at the third level of the Qi Refinement Realm. Thus, I am not taken seriously. I have not come into contact with those legendary cultivation sects. All year round, I stay in a place where individual cultivators live in groups. It is called Xiaoqian Mountain. There is a core formation cultivator there, and it is usually peaceful.”
Zhao Hong said many things, and Jiang Ming finally had some initial understanding of the mysterious world of immortal cultivation.
From Zhao Hong’s description, Jiang Ming also learned that the Fire Lotus Valley was a force of immortal cultivators near the Red Pine Snowfield. It also had core formation cultivators in charge. The sect’s geography was unique, and lava gushed out naturally all year round. Its main business was refining medicine and artifacts, and it mainly sold them to the Feather Kingdom.
“Master, if it’s possible, you must strive to join a true immortal cultivation sect. That’s the place for you to soar!” Zhao Hong said sincerely.
“Join my ass! I’m not going.” Jiang Ming thought to himself. “If I want to hide, I’ll hide in the place of individual cultivators.” Although it may be a little chaotic, was more suitable for Jiang Ming to hide there. No one would notice if he changed his identity every few decades.
But on the surface, he still smiled bitterly and said, “I’m nearly a hundred years old now, and my vitality has begun to decline. How can I join an immortal cultivation sect if I go?”
“That’s not the case!” Zhao Hong said solemnly. “To be able to become a martial arts master from a place with low spiritual energy shows that your comprehension and perseverance are extraordinary. There are many people like this who have shone in the world of immortal cultivation!”
Jiang Ming nodded expressionlessly. ‘It’s a pity that my martial arts aptitude is not that good. I only got here by using forbidden techniques.’
Zhao Hong saw that Jiang Ming did not seem to believe him. He suddenly thought of something and said, “I heard that a hundred years ago, there seemed to be a cultivation genius who came out of this world. He was taken away by a powerful person and the news spread like crazy in my land of individual cultivators. I know that there are still legends about him. His name is… I think he’s called Zhou Pingshi?”
“Isn’t that the marquis of the country of Yan?” Jiang Ming asked.
“It’s him! I only found out after coming to this world that he has such a great reputation here,” Zhao Hong quickly said.
Jiang Ming calculated the time, but he felt that something was not right. Marquis Zhou had participated in the storm of the immortal encounter on the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest a few decades ago. How could he have been taken away by the almighty immortal cultivators a hundred years ago?
“Could it be that he became a Grandmaster when he was young, and after entering the world of immortal cultivation and becoming a disciple of an almighty immortal cultivator, he returned to become a marquis of the country of Yan?”
Jiang Ming was secretly shocked. He remembered that Dr. Sun had once said that Marquis Zhou was suspected to be a pawn of his greatest enemy.
“Now it seems that it might be true! It seems that Dr. Sun’s Spirit Restriction Seal can’t be used in front of others in the future,” Jiang Ming muttered to himself. “Zhou Pingshi is the real dummy.”
